(intro) Am Dm E Am

       Am               Dm
I'm a melancholy man,            that's what I am,
E                                      Am
     all the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground.
       Am                Dm
I'm a very lonely man,            doing what I can,
E                                     Am
     all the world astounds me and I think I understand,
            E                              Am
that we're going to keep growing, wait and see.

         Am
    When all the stars are falling down,
      Dm
    into the sea and on the ground
        E                         Am
    and angry voices carry on the wind,
         Am
    the beam of light will fill your head,
         Dm
    and you'll remember what's been said,
       E                                   Am
    by all the good men this world's ever known.

     Am
    Another man is what you'll see,
        Dm
    who looks like you, and looks like me,
         E                                Am
    and yet somehow he will not feel the same.
        Am
    His life caught up in misery,
       Dm
    he doesn't think like you and me,
           E                               Am
    'cause he can't see what you and I can see.
